Leading hotelier, Wyndham Worldwide Corporation (WYN - Free Report) is a provider of various hospitality services to individual and business customers through its premier portfolio of global brands. The company has significant presence in major hospitality markets in the United States and across the world.

Moreover, the company has an industry-leading guest loyalty program - Wyndham Rewards - which helps members to earn rewards and redeem points on their hotel stays. Also, in order to survive in the competitive environment, Wyndham is devising new ways to increase occupancy at its hotels.

However, lingering global uncertainty in economies like Europe, Brazil and China has been limiting revenue growth. Additionally, negative currency translation has been marring the company’s revenues and profits over the past few quarters, given Wyndham’s considerable international operations.

Investors should note that the consensus estimate for Wyndham has been stable over the last 60 days. Meanwhile, WYN’s earnings have been strong over the past few quarters. In fact, the company posted positive earnings surprises in all of the last four quarters, with an average beat of 2.51%. Revenues, however, have missed the Zacks Consensus Estimate in each of the trailing four quarters.

We have highlighted some of the key stats from this just-revealed announcement below:

Earnings: WYN beats on earnings. Our consensus earnings estimate called for earnings per share of $1.35 and the company reported earnings of $1.49 per share. Investors should note that these figures take out stock option expenses. The recent U.S. tax reform favored earnings in the quarter.

The most popular cryptocurrency skyrocketed last year, giving some investors the chance to bank 20X returns or even more. Those gains, however, came with serious volatility and risk. Bitcoin sank 25% or more 3 times in 2017.

Zacks’ has just released a new Special Report to help readers capitalize on the explosive profit potential of Bitcoin and the other cryptocurrencies with significantly less volatility than buying them directly.

At the center of everything we do is a strong commitment to independent research and sharing its profitable discoveries with investors. This dedication to giving investors a trading advantage led to the creation of our proven Zacks Rank stock-rating system. Since 1988 it has more than doubled the S&P 500 with an average gain of +25% per year. These returns cover a period from 1988-2017. Zacks Rank stock-rating system returns are computed monthly based on the beginning of the month and end of the month Zacks Rank stock prices plus any dividends received during that particular month. A simple, equally-weighted average return of all Zacks Rank stocks is calculated to determine the monthly return. The monthly returns are then compounded to arrive at the annual return. Only Zacks Rank stocks included in Zacks hypothetical portfolios at the beginning of each month are included in the return calculations. Zack Ranks stocks can, and often do, change throughout the month. Certain Zacks Rank stocks for which no month-end price was available, pricing information was not collected, or for certain other reasons have been excluded from these return calculations.
